Although Western is a newer Optometry school compared to others, it will prepare you to become the best doctor that you can be. The faculty and administration work very hard to keep you on track and are very open to suggestions. They have changed the curriculum based off of our feedback or would even move test days around for you if things get too hectic.
While the PBL learning process has its benefits, it leaves many gaps in knowledge and in no way justifies the cost. The administration and faculty are often very disorganized and regularly waste our time and money. The only benefit of going to this veterinary school is leaving with a DVM behind your name... oh and 400K in debt. If I could do it over again, I would have reapplied to Davis to save cost and get a more legitimate education.
